Welcome to Stinky's Art Class. We have the best students in the world. Todays lesson is how to draw a sword.
Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Today's lesson is how to draw a sword.

Okay, I'm thinking I'm feeling a little lazy today. I don't know why because I'll tell you why. Because I think of a sword. I think like a knight, you know, from the ancient times and, you know, drawing a sword with a bunch of armor.
Sounds hard to me. So I'm just going to keep it within my abilities. I'm not going to try. Today is not the day that I'm going to push my boundaries. Today is the day I'm gonna keep it real. You ever heard that? Keeping it real. Sometimes you just need to keep it real.
Now, this is a sharp edge. It's got the blade. Now we want to do this fancy. What do they call that? That's to protect your hand from falling down. Okay, I am going to have a hard time not drawing a hand, class. I know I said I didn't want to do it, but I think I'm going to have to.
Let's put a jewel at the end of this thing too. It looks like a king sword, doesn't it? Oh excuse me, class. Okay, so let's draw some fingers and the thumb.
Very interesting perspective. Let's talk about that for a minute, class. Have you ever done studies on perspectives? What do you notice about this? There's a little bit of perspective issue, isn't there? What do you think, class? Do you think this is a completed project now? Do you think this is actually not a lesson on how to draw a sword?
Maybe it's a lesson on perspective and I just pulled a fast one on you. You ever think about that? Well now, Stinky doesn't play like that. This is the lesson of the sword. But, let us incorporate aspects of art. This is perspective. Does it look like it used to be like this?
You can use perspective to improve your art. Change it up, make it interesting. Like, can you imagine those art lovers that go to the art galleries? If they saw this hanging in an art gallery in a nice frame and they saw that they'd be sitting there for hours trying to figure out the perspective of it and like why the sword was upside down.
Like, is that guy walking on the ceiling or something? Okay class, and then we got this perspective. There's nothing here. I think if we leave this blank class, you got to think about this. If I leave this blank then, you know, those critique art lovers are going to have to deal with this. They're going to have to deal with it.
They will look at this piece of art and they'll have to deal with it. They'll have to come to terms that this is a perspective issue and they'll have to just come up with some interpretation of why it's that way. And I think that's why artists love art because we like to have other people make their interpretations, don't we?
Here we go again, forgetting to finish off the fingers. Should we do this class or no? I'm not going to mess it up. For just a little dot.
Now that'll really throw them off. Okay class, I hope you enjoyed this lesson. And the lesson was how to draw a sword. But, you know, it turned into a lesson on perspective and empty space and critique and, you know, all turned into a lot of aspects. There's deep meaning in these drawings because like I said, they're for the highest level and the lowest level and everybody in between.
And because I know that we have some great talent in the class, I wanted to kind of make it challenging for all levels. So I hope you enjoyed the class today and keep following me and bringing your friends along. And your enemies, your friends, family, and whoever else that wants to attend Stinky's Art Class. Rope and all.
Okay people, have a great day. We'll see you at the next epic lesson. We got some major reveals coming up. Thanks, class. Class dismissed.
